At AAPLD we try to offer something for everyone, and our book clubs are no exception! Whether your favorite genre is literary fiction, fantasy, romance, thrillers, horror, sci-fi, Young Adult, or even non-fiction, we've got a book club for you! In August, we're launching two new clubs: The Next Chapter, for readers 55 and over; and Friends of Fiction, which focuses on contemporary and historical fiction.

Like to read a bit of everything? No worries! Look for the club selections that sounds most interesting, and sign up.

We take care of ordering the books, just come to the Adult Services desk at the Main Library or Eastgate, and pick up a copy. Then, gather with other readers to share ideas and insights about what you've read.  Because our most popular book clubs can fill quickly, it's important to register ahead of time, to make sure there's a seat waiting for you!
